Don't want to get into it - I'm not particularly fond of the old "French can't defend themselves" jokes by now. I've just been to France, spent a day in Verdun as well as the Somme. Definitely puts it all in perspective. Then you travel the back roads, skip the peage (freeway) and read the plaques as you go along, visiting churches in all of the small villages. Town after town after town. You know the story.
But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
William Shakespeare - Richard II
